METHOD FOR ANTI-VIRUS RECORDS TRANSMISSION USED TO DETECT MALICIOUS FILES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G06F21/56 G06F15/173 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to the field of computer security. A method is proposed to transmit anti-virus records used to detect malicious files, which includes collection of statistics of antiviral records usage to detect malicious files, while one part of the records is located on the user's computer, and the other is stored on a remote server; calculation of coefficients of antiviral records perspective based on the usage statistics; while the perspective factor of an anti-virus record is a numeric value, the greater this value is, the more malicious files were found by the anti-virus application using this virus record; transmission of at least one anti-virus record located on the user's computer to the remote server to be used by the anti-virus application, provided that the perspective factor of this record is not included into the hoghest perspective factors of antiviral records, where this value does not exceeds the threshold.

EFFECT: invention reduces consumption of user's computer resources by the anti-virus application, namely the hard drive memory for anti-virus records storage.
